  • Patent number: 10190843
    Abstract: A magazine for projectiles in a simulated weapon includes a housing defining an internal chamber. A gas inlet is situated at an inlet portion of the internal chamber. An outlet situated at an outlet portion of the internal chamber. The internal chamber of the housing is shaped to accommodate a series of spherical projectiles. A restraining element is positioned at the outlet portion of the internal chamber. The restraining element restrains a lead projectile of the series of projectiles against pressure from pressurized gas applied to the gas inlet. The restraining element releases the lead projectile as pressure within the internal chamber rises. The magazine can be integrated in a simulated grenade, simulated shotgun shell, and similar devices.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7784455
    Abstract: The present invention is an improved grenade which launches a plurality of pellet projectiles. The grenade includes a housing containing at least one spiral launch tube, said launch tube having a breech end and a muzzle end. A plurality of projectiles are loaded in the launch tube between the breech and muzzle ends. The grenade includes a gas reservoir for storing a compressed gas coupled to the breech end of the launch tube. A valve is interposed between the reservoir and the breech end of the launch tube for controlling the flow of compressed gas from the reservoir to the breech end of the launch tube. The valve is moveable between a closed state and an open state wherein said compressed gas enters the breech end of the launch tube to propel the projectiles from the muzzle end, the valve being biased towards its open state.
